Abstract & presentation

The role of e-Infrastructures for Climate Change Research

16-20 May 2011, Trieste (Italy)

With climate change high on the political agenda, the “Conference on the role of e-Infrastructures for Climate Change Research”, held in Trieste at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) 16-20 May 2011, addressed these aspects bringing together more than 130 among scientists, policy makers and international actors to address climate change from scientific, economic and political perspectives.

The event was co-organised by 3 EC-funded projects EU-India Grid2, EUMEDGRID-Support and CHAIN which are driving forward collaboration between regional e-nfrastructures; and the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN).
